Description
1975 Bellanca Decathlon in excellent condition and maintained to the highest level. There are are numerous modifications; most notably the wooden spar has been upgraded to a metal spar. It also has aileron spades, a constant speed prop and oil filter upgrade, EI engine monitor, vertical card compass, and a very recent overhaul. The airplane is beautiful....looks nearly new; no major damage history and very gently flown by an experienced high time pilot. Over the past few years almost every system on the aircraft has been replaced, overhauled or upgraded; no squawks. Also, this aircraft is easy and inexpensive to maintain and fly.
If you ever have ever considered buying a tail dragger/aerobatic aircraft, you should take a look at this one. The combination of TT, TSMOH, metal spar and overall condition are rare and hard to find.
